ComradeKrzhizhanovsky

Idraw your special attention to the question of Leslie
Urquhart’s concession (Kyshtym works and other numerous
copper mines).

Krasinand Bogdanov, together with you, must study the
terms of the concession and draft an agreement. It is of
exceptional importance for us to arrange things in such a
way that the concessionaire, who wants to take over nearly
all the copper mines in Russia, should, first, guarantee our
royalties and our early receipt of them, and, second, that
we should have the possibility of obtaining from the
concessionaire the necessary equipment to develop the
operation of our own mines. After you have studied the matter,
please inform me to what extent you believe the one and
the other condition are guaranteed, and what is in general
the importance of the proposed concession from the
standpoint of developing Russia’s supply and her electrification
in particular.
